    That's the truth. Sit the starters for this one and save the energy for the next series of games.

    OKC's last 3 games: MN (Loss in MN), MIA (Loss in MIA), DALL (OT Win in OKC, trailed for most of game).

    2nd night of a back to back, last game of a 4 in 5, after a brutal speed race in San Antonio?

    Against OKC? Yah, we're an underdog.

    You think the NBA would fine the Rockets if McHale sat out Harden, Parsons and Lin? :grin:

    We should just use Harden as a decoy as OKC seems to have his number and rely on Lin for offense.

    Backcourt gonna get doubled and trapped like a mutha****ah. Front court gonna get blocked and elbowed by Perkins and Chewbacca.

    Lets hope we make our 3s.

    Hard to see a win out of this after last night's long minutes for the starters at such a crazy pace. Spurs and Rockets were both running a ton last night.

    The Rockets may be forced to play DMo tonight, and that is not necessarily a bad thing.

    yeah...i also liked cole aldrich getting a lot of minutes last night...perhaps key to our further development and improvement lies in 10 man rotation?

    No, since it is normal to sit Lin for no reason. Then sitting the other two does not look too outrageous. Anyway, it is not going to happen.

    If Red Nation wins, I will start my streak of watching The Last Crusade... I did it with Temple Of Doom 5 times and they won 5 straight...
